Traumatic events during childhood have an impact on the victim’s brain development, emotional regulation capacity, and behavior throughout the lifespan. Having the ability to assess an individual for the effects of childhood trauma better enables us to work effectively with them, and more effectively encourage compliance.

Did you know that 99% of all leadership occurs not from the TOP but from the MIDDLE of an organization? Join the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) to explore the qualities of effective leaders at all levels and the essential skills necessary to flourish in one’s own management style while respecting organizational structure and mission. Through a series of interactive activities, attendees will explore how current and future leaders can bring relevant tools, values, and influence to and from every level of a correctional organization.
There is a rapid evolution in the technologies people use to communicate and share material with each other, in the companies providing the sharing platforms, and in how people choose to communicate with each other. People are increasingly choosing to communicate using text, images, and videos rather than traditional electronic voice communications. And they increasingly choose to use platforms that make this communication openly available for others to view. This means that evidence associated with not just metadata but also content of communications can often be collected through open sources long after the communication is completed. While evidence of criminality and victimization can be recovered through open source investigative techniques, many of the commercial tools marketed to criminal investigators and analysts are expensive. This sometimes places them outside the reach of police departments, and social media companies are increasingly blocking API connections for commercial tools that allow the tools to be used for "surveillance." Therefore, it is increasingly important for criminal investigators and analysts to build an inexpensive cyber-OSINT toolbox. This webinar will discuss the rapidly evolving ecosystem of online social media and how people are changing how they choose to communicate. It will then detail and demonstrate free and inexpensive cyber-OSINT tools that criminal investigators and analysts can use to start building a cyber-OSINT toolbox.

The process of acquiring forensic images is well understood, and the industry has never been better equipped for the analysis. However, common practices are set to fail, and analysis may be missing malware and indicators of compromise. This webinar will highlight shortcomings in common methods and provide a framework for an improved approach to allow for more efficient and thorough investigations.
Please join the National Resource and Technical Assistance Center (NRTAC) on Improving Law Enforcement Investigations, a Center funded by Bureau of Justice Assistance and administered by the National Police Foundation and its partners, for an informational webinar on the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s 2020 Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC) Solicitation.

The sale of counterfeit goods may be thought of as a relatively harmless crime, when in reality production, sale, and distribution of counterfeit goods represents money laundering, corruption, fraud, human trafficking, sanctions evasion, and terrorist finance. Much like the sale of illegal narcotics, the production, distribution, and sale of counterfeit goods can yield hundreds of billions of dollars every year. As a result, transnational and localized organized crime groups are involved at every step of the operation. This session will highlight the risks involved with the sale of counterfeit goods, as well as the illicit actors involved, and how these goods make their way into the stream of commerce. This session will explain the nexus between organized criminal activity and the sale of counterfeit goods, while drawing sharp correlations to traditional anti-money laundering controls. Attendees will learn the risk indicators of the sale of counterfeit goods, as well as how to use open source databases to enhance due diligence searches for potential vendors linked to the sale of counterfeit goods. The session will provide recommendations on how to leverage analytics and gap analysis to further detect potentially high-risk customers, products, and transactions.
